Next thing you know we'll have them at school entrances because so many kids are killing each other. You missed the comment about "for use against people suspected of carrying concealed weapons", didn't you? :rolleyes: Honestly, Big Brother jibes from Americans are hilarious. We have always...

You can buy Sigg caps with a lanyard hole and also buy various covers for them if you want. They're very tough and last for years, even if you drop them off 100ft high ledges to see what happens to them (ahem). It didn't explode but did dent badly. Incidentaly, also very good for their...

If you go to MMU you'll have a couple of decent guns clubs within 5-10 miles, especially shotgun clubs. x There's a gunshop in town - Shudehill, where all the dirty book shops are - that could advise. x Stensby and son, I think. I think Salford Uni still has a rifle club, don't know if they...

But it's fun to nitpick. :) Continuity errors, sound equipment clearly visible, cameraman reflected in a window. All great stuff. It's like a hidden prize for the aware.

You're right, I mis-read the poster. Still not too keen on that particular poster though. It seems somehow sensationalist. 15 years ago my local force had delisles and beretta subguns, they were just never pictured with them. I need to consider this for a while to figure out what's bugging...

Don't forget you can do the scoped rifle/shotgun things here if you get a licence. Practical Shotgun is lots of fun but could be hard physically. Rifle target shooting, from .22LR to .50bmg, is legal. It's cost and having somwhwere safe to shoot that's limiting. Ever thought of black...

Hi neospud sorry, don't know where to point you. I got my info from a few police officers in different regions so it's anecdotal. Maybe we have a british police officer here who can state who gets what?

No, we're not. The only people who call us subjects are either people who don't realise we're citizens or people who are making up their own definition of subject. That's usually 'people who have more gun control than we do'. It might appeal to an American having a gloat but it just annoys...

May have been mentioned... I've seen a lot of movies, usually low-budget ones, where someone is shooting a gun where the slide is clearly locked back. I hate the wrist flick people use to show recoil. Half the time it's out of sink with the firing anyway, like it's the flick that fires the...

How about making anyone who uses the term 'tactical' dress up as a bowling pin?

"...by linking it with the world reknown Glock brand it would take off in sales based on the reputation of the Glock pistol." Other way round. Glock pistols originally traded on the good reputation of Glock field tools (field knife and entrenching tool). :) Did Glock make the old...

"Allowing" self-defence? It's a natural right of man that is legally protected. The myth that it's outlawed is mostly spread on US gun forums either by accident or as tiresome Brit-bashing. Before anyone mentions 'that farmer who was jailed for murder', read up on his case. Raving about...

Drew, how dare you. Don't you know that you're not allowed to make a sensible comparison to US laws? Next you might be making negative comments about metal detectors in schools or the senselessness of the AWB. What are you, a commie? In future please reply with the following phrases...

Exactly. Health & Safety going overboard. They're an excitable bunch. It's not a legal requirement to notify police about replica firearms but is considered good practice if they might be confused with real firearms in an innapropriate place. How replica sharps got mixed up in this is...

You've been speaking to my sister, haven't you? She won't let her son use a public toilet without one of these as she's convinced someone is going to steal him. Hardly likely with her standing outside glaring at everyone. Too bad the kid keeps wedging them in so tight he struggles to get them...

Doc jake, do you know the law for a general carry knife is under 3"/76mm, not 2.5"? I won't recommend knives as this thread on British Blades has them all: http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26459 I have a Spyderco UK penknife and love it. They're out of production...

I'm not sure if the skinny tang counts as full tang. Most of the blades look like this one: http://www.felesmagus.com/pages/cutler/1.html You can buy laplander series knives that have a full size tang. It's quite a different style to the cheaper blades...

I once shot squirrel in the head with a .22 air rifle and watched the pellet bounce off. The squirrel started running, slipped, fell onto concrete and then lay on the ground bleeding out its mouth and backside. :( I almost burst into tears at the poor pathetic thing and it took me a minute...

I thought that would amuse you. ;) Apparently they were praised in an instructional book by an ex-SAS guy. I'm not sure which one, apart from that it wasn't Bear Ghrylls. A friend who trains cadets (people too young to join regular army) says they're highly coveted just now. It always...
